Celestial Bodies by Jokha Alharthi

3.0

I have not read the original text, but I would say hats off to the translator, especially with the proverbs and the old verses of poetry. I discovered a lot of Omani history, atrocities and abuse. The flashbacks were not helpful at times, and at others the stories are missing the key.
